Burns Management

Burns management involves a systematic approach to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. It starts with stopping the burning process and cooling the burn with clean, cool water to reduce damage. The area is then assessed for severity—mild burns affect only the outer skin, while severe burns pose deeper damage. For minor burns, cleaning, protecting with sterile dressings, and pain relief are sufficient. Severe burns may require hospital care, wound cleaning, specialized dressings, fluids, and sometimes surgery. Throughout, infection prevention is vital, and close monitoring helps ensure proper recovery and minimizes scarring or other complications.
